Bulgaria · RHODOPE MOUNTAINS TOURS
The Rhodopes run along the Greek border south of Plovdiv: the Wonderful Bridges, the Devil’s Throat cave with its underground waterfall, the Trigrad gorge, and villages that still cook their own. These 9 are long days out of Plovdiv or Sofia, priced with the driving time stated up front.
9-hour small-group day trip from Plovdiv to Rhodope’s Wonderful Bridges, Kosovo village cuisine, and Bachkovo Monastery with an English guide.
“We had a perfect day with our guide Ivo. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about nature and history. I can't recommend this tour enough.”
Electric off-road ride through the Rhodope Mountains from Plovdiv to Momina Skala canyon views, Markovo Reservoir, and Sveti Atanas chapel.
“It was a great experience. Martin was entertaining and provided good instructions. It was more beautiful than I expected.”
Plovdiv day trip to the Marvelous Bridges, Rhodope village Kosovo food, and Bachkovo Monastery with hotel pickup and an English guide.
“Ivo is supremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of Bulgaria, giving us a great background to the trip. He drove us safely in the comfortable air conditioned vehicle. The ‘bridges’ are well worth the 2hr winding, scenic drive. Wear shoes with good grip as paths are steep & slippery in places. You won’t be walking far from the vehicle & can opt out of any paths you’re not happy about. Absolutely magical place! Next, to interesting old village then delicious food stop (ask Ivo for recommendations). Last stop at the ornate monastery- more great stories, facts and descriptions from Ivo! Wonderful, un-hurried, memorable day. Thank you from…”
Day trip from Sofia to Plovdiv’s Roman sites and old Ottoman mosque, then to the Rhodopes and a boat ride at Vucha dam.
“Plovdiv is divided into the old part and the new part. Ideally wear a comfortable shoes for the old part since its all cobbled payment. The road to Rhodope mountains was amazing even the boat trip in Vucha lake/ reservoir. Boris our guide gave us a lot of information and he is an excellent driver. Highly recommended.”
A 10-hour Plovdiv day trip through Perperikon’s ancient ruins, Haskovo, a mosque-turned-church in Uzundzhovo, and the Alexandrovo Thracian Tomb.
“Our trip was cancelled so we didn't have an experience. We were not told of the cancellation. If you use this company check midnight to see if the trip is happening. We were waiting to be picked up and was only told when we rang to find out where the driver was. No apology”
Hike Eagle’s Eye for a 360 view, then tour Devil’s Throat Cave’s 42m underground waterfall from Plovdiv, with Trigrad gorge drives.
“Highly recommended trip - we had Ivo as our guide and he was incredible - background in history and knows a lot about the places he took us to. Eagle's Eye is absolutely worth the hike and Devil's Throath needs to be experienced - photos don't do it justice and words aren't enough to describe it. The restaurant was also amazing - the food they serve is next to none both in quality and taste. We had a slight issue with card payment at the end but it got resolved very very quickly by the staff - they were very polite and got it sorted literally by the next morning…”
